Re America's Tire: The problem I have with them is the constant turnover in management and other personnel. If you get a good person, he is not there the next time. The Lake Forest, CA store recently damaged a member's 993 rocker panel due to improper jacking. They made it good, but I was sorry I had recommended them.

But it's working, no one named Kent has showed up and asked for the keys.
